Past Travel Courses

Each year presents the opportunity to pursue new itineraries or to revisit sites that continue to yield insight and fascination. At Ancient Rome Live, we embrace both approaches: introducing new tours and returning to favorite locations. Take a look at our past adventures. Should a particular destination resonate with your interests, please contact us. With a minimum of six participants, we are able to relaunch previous tours by request. All tours are curated and led by archaeologist Darius Arya.
